Our online service covers Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra, as well as regional Australia.

Where can you use this translation?
For an Australian Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), a Taiwan military discharge order with a NAATI-certified English translation can be used as evidence of previous military service. Home Affairs lists military service records or discharge papers among the character documents for applicants who have served. See the Skilled Nominated visa document guidance.
For a first Australian Working Holiday visa (subclass 417), a Taiwan military discharge order with a NAATI-certified English translation can be used when Home Affairs requests military-service evidence from an applicant who has served. See the first Working Holiday visa document guidance.
For an Australian visa submission, upload the Chinese military document together with its English translation. ABC Translation Australia supplies the signed and stamped English PDF by email. See the Home Affairs document-checking guidance.
Our NAATI-certified English translations are accepted by the following Australian institutions for these purposes:
- Department of Home Affairs — Taiwan military discharge documents supporting Australian citizenship applications and military-service background checks, including Form 1399.
- Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) — Taiwan military discharge documents for employer-sponsored security clearance applications requiring evidence of overseas military service. See the document guide and translation requirements.
- University of Newcastle — Military-service documents supporting international students’ leave of absence or reduced study load applications. The documents must show how military service affects the student’s studies. See the university requirements.
An Australian employer conducting a background check, or a court or school, may also ask for an English translation of a Taiwan military discharge or training completion order. Tell us the receiving organisation and purpose in the optional order notes if they affect names or document details; the translation does not decide a visa outcome or replace separate document checks.
Which document should you translate?
If you already have a Taiwan military discharge order (退伍令) or training completion order (結訓令) in Chinese, you can order a NAATI-certified English translation of that document. Applying to the Taiwan issuing authority for a new English military certificate is a separate process.
How to order
To order a Chinese-to-English NAATI translation of your Taiwan military discharge or training completion order, upload clear copies of every page, enter the holder’s English name as shown in the passport, choose page quantity and delivery, review the total, accept the terms and privacy policy, then pay by Stripe. We email the signed and stamped PDF after translation. The standard 12-hour turnaround begins once payment, all clear document pages and the English name have been received.
- Upload clear photos or a PDF of the front and back of every page wherever there is text, stamps or notes. Older documents must be legible.
- Type the holder’s English name as shown in the passport. We keep the translation faithful to the name on the source document; no passport upload is required.
- Enter the number of pages and select PDF, standard post or courier. The optional notes field can include the receiving authority, purpose, deadline, different name spellings or hard-to-read details.
- Review the displayed total and pay through Stripe after accepting the terms and privacy policy.
Republic of China calendar years on a Taiwan military document are converted to Gregorian years in its English translation. If an old record is faint, a scan is incomplete or names differ across documents, explain the issue in the optional notes so we can confirm the source details before translating.
Translation and other document services
A NAATI-certified translation renders a Taiwan military document from Chinese into English; it is separate from a certified copy, JP witnessing, notarisation or an Apostille. If a court, school or other receiving organisation expressly requires one of those additional steps, tell us before ordering so its separate scope can be checked.

If our Taiwan military translation contains an error or omission caused by our work, we correct it free of charge.
If a receiving authority gives written notice that the Taiwan military translation does not meet its NAATI format requirements, we first correct it free of charge. If that issue cannot be resolved by correction, we refund the translation fee for that translation. This protection does not cover applicant eligibility, problems with the original document, incomplete materials or separate notarisation or authentication requirements, and it does not limit rights under applicable consumer law.
